BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) California coach Justin Wilcox has always emphasized to his players the importance of keeping an even-keel approach every week.

With a pivotal Pac-12 game against rival Stanford coming up, Wilcox is relaxing his approach a little.

"It's one of the greatest rivalries in college football," Wilcox said. "I want them to enjoy that and appreciate it and how much energy it brings. They all feel it and know it. You can walk around campus and tell. It's a good thing."
